These four days were very especial days for us. We enjoyed much and learned many things. We learned to work as a team in every activity during these four days. These four days will be in our minds for ever.

Last 14th of December we went to Sankhapala camp. One teacher and 12 students attended this camp from Attanagalla. We started our journey at 10.00a.m.We went to Ambilipitiya at 6.00 p.m. First we bathed and discussed what we had to do. Students came to this camp from three centers. We had three guides. They are Brad, Katie, and Luke. Every day we woke up at 4.30 a.m. Then we washed our face and observed Pancil. In the camp we played many Games, sports and did group activities. I enjoyed much at the camp. I think all children enjoyed like me. At the night we did entertainment activities around the camp fire. We had Dances; sang songs, mini dramas. We did things in a two Groups. Little star and challenger are our groups. And we built tower and bridge. Also we did presentations about our bridge and tower. We enjoyed much and I improved my English knowledge. This is my first trip alone I lived three days without my parents. Before we did games one teacher explained about the game and how to do it. Sometimes we did not understand what he said. But teachers helped us. In the camp we couldn't speak Sinhala.

I think all students enjoyed at the camp. This camp was very good. I will not forget this camp.

This is my first time away from home without a parent. But I learned many things at this camp. I think it will be more valuable to our future than today. We worked in two groups named little star and challenger. I think teachers wanted to teach our harmony and working with others.

We learned Leadership from many activities. The most valuable thing is we talked in English there .Till we came back home most of our daily things we talked in English. I think it is a main thing we had from our English camp. Few children were clever in creations. We built a beautiful and strong Tower and a bridge. And we built a good friendship with the children from other centres.

This journey was the most Interesting journey to me and all others. We got mental satisfaction from it. It is most valuable to our future. This camp was Important and good experience to our life and I think others too feel so.

On the 14th of December 2002, by about 9.a.m we started our Journey to Ambilipitiya with our Ranjith sir. There were twelve students selected for this programme from Attanagalle class. It was about 5.p.m when we reached Ambilipitiya. We decided to stay at Sankhapala Vihara.We met Ambilipitiya and Matale students there. We made friends with them and we had a party there. After that Sanjeewa sir explained to us about things what we had to do next . At about 10 p.m. we went to sleep. But I missed my parents a lot. I felt very lonely. The next day we woke up early morning at about 4.30 and we enjoyed the "Bhavana" program at 6 a.m. The Nayaka Thero of Sankhapala helped this programme. After that we met the three foreign friends. Luke, Brad and Katie. We all made good friends with them. Next we divided into two teams called Challenger and Little Star. Mine was Challenger .

It was the last day of our camp. I was very sad because we had to say good bye to my friends. We did sports and presentations and games a lot on the last day. Sanjeewa sir and Anuruddha sir came to meet us. And they selected the winners. The winner was the Challenger team. I was very happy because it was my team. We always tried to speak in English in this camp. We enjoyed ourselves a lot and we started to return home on 18th of December at about 1.p.m from Sankhapala Vihara. When we reached Attanagalla it was about 5.p.m. We saw our parents waiting for us at our temple. This was the first time in my life away from my parents. But I wish I had more days in this camp I would be able to learn more and more good things for my life. because it was a wonderful time.

We had a camp at Sankhapala Viharaya in Ambilipitiya. It was held from 14th to 18th of December. I got much experience from that. There were many children like us. We were divided into two groups by our teachers. They were challenger and little star. We played many games. During this period we cooked our own three morning meals and we did our own work. From that I got much experience about our day to day lives. We woke up at 4.30 a.m. Firstly we observed pansil. Next we attended sport activities. Then we took our breakfast prepared by students. It' was a lot of fun to us. Next time is we did different presentations. They are valuable to our education.

I think these programs are valuable for our lives. Because we can learn many new things. After the day's program we went to bathe in a river. In the afternoon we had a camp fire entertainment. It was full of much enjoyable activities. Our students presented different items at this meeting; one sinhala item and others were in English .There were songs, dramas, mimes and dancing items. The last day was very sad to us because we were to take leave from our friends. Finally, we came back to Attanagalla at 5.00 p.m.

One teacher and ten children went to this camp. From Attanagalla, We started our journey at 10.am.We went to Sankapala at 6.00 pm. First we had a bath in the river. Three foreigners from England came to teach us. They taught us Games, Sports and many other things. They are Kati e, Luke and Brad. Every day we woke up at 4.30 p.m. Then we washed our face and went to observe Pancil, Nagitha Thero gave us Pancil. Foreigners taught us very interesting activities. Sometimes we did not understand what they said. But teachers helped us to understand. We enjoyed and we were very happy and enjoyed this Camp. We had much group work. Many children worked in harmony. We did physical exercises in the morning. Little Star and Challenger were our groups. In the night we did a lot of fun activities in the Camp. I met new friends too. This is my first trip alone.
